MCMAHON Efrem Bartoletti in the Mesabi Range: A Wobbly’s Efforts to Mobilize Immigrant Italian Miners THIERRY RINALDETTI A number of creative works have focused on the intricate interplay of class consciousness and ethnic solidarity in the immigrant communities of the United States and among Italian immigrants in particular (Bezza 1983; Cannistraro and Meyer 2003; Gabaccia and Ottanelli 2001; Guglielmo 2010; Pernicone 2009; Topp 2001b; Vezzosi 1991), drawing attention to the difficulty of organizing workers of diverse ethnic backgrounds into class-conscious movements. In the early twentieth century, the issue was especially crucial for an industrial union like the Industrial Workers of the World (also known as the IWW, or Wobblies), whose goal was to organize all workers of an industry regardless of their skills and origins. While the trade unions of the American Federation of Labor, its major rival, were dominated by skilled, male, Anglo-Saxon workers, IWW locals primarily recruited the transient, the unskilled, the recent immigrants of all back- grounds, and they did not exclude blacks or women either. In particular, the massive presence of unskilled Italian immigrants in most industries, and in many IWW locals, made the task even more complicated for Wobbly orga- nizers. For while the success of mobilizations and strikes often depended largely upon the active participation of Italian workers (Cartosio 1983, 384; Topp 2001a, 139–142),1 Italian immigrants were divided not only ideologi- cally—like workers of other ethnic groups—but along regional lines as well. At the beginning of the twentieth century, most of them had no sense of national identity but rather viewed themselves and their fellow coun- trymen as natives of specific regions and provinces of Italy. This article addresses these issues, not from the perspective of Wobbly leadership but from that of an IWW local organizer, Efrem Bartoletti. In Italy, he had completed only a rudimentary education. Once in the United States, he alternated his work as a propagandist for the IWW with his job as a miner, while organizing his fellow Italian-American miners in the local community to which he fully belonged. A number of primary sources documenting Efrem Bartoletti’s life and work are available, which is not the case for his peers: his correspondence with prominent Italian-American (and non-Italian-American) radicals, several articles he published in the Italian-language radical press, his first poems collected in one volume by the IWW, and the drafts of some of his speeches.2 It is thus possible to hear ©2015 John D. Calandra Italian American Institute 2 • Italian American Review 5.1 • Winter 2015 a voice that is generally unheard. Drawing upon some of these sources, this article examines the role Bartoletti played as a local radical activist and IWW organizer among his fellow Italian-American miners of the Mesabi Range (Minnesota), mainly—though not exclusively—in the context of the miners’ strike of 1916 and the crackdown on radicals that followed the U.S. declaration of war in 1917. Bartoletti’s propaganda and organizing efforts, his speeches and poems in particular, contributed to uniting and mobi- lizing Italian-American workers divided along regional and ideological lines by appealing to their sense of Italianness during the strike in 1916. But his achievement was short-lived because of major, and well-known, obstacles to the Italian Americans’ (and non–Italian Americans’) long-term commitment to revolutionary industrial unionism, as his correspondence confirms. Indeed, with the fierce repression of the IWW, the disruption of its networks and the divisions among its leaders, the mission of a local organizer like Efrem Bartoletti became almost impossible. Efrem Bartoletti’s Major Challenge as an IWW Organizer When he first left Costacciaro, his native village in the Eugubino-Gualdese Apennines, Umbria, in 1907, Efrem Bartoletti was only eighteen years old. He worked for a while in Luxembourg and then traveled to Hibbing, Minnesota, in 1909, where he boarded with an Italian-American family on Cedar Street—together with a dozen other, mainly Umbrian migrants— and worked as an iron ore miner in the Mesabi Range underground pits. Actually, like the majority of young men from Costacciaro and the nearby Umbrian localities,3 he was following in the footsteps of other inhabitants from the four corners of the Eugubino-Gualdese Apennines who since the turn of the twentieth century had engaged in circular labor migrations between their native villages and specific localities in a number of mining areas of Europe and the United States: in the small iron-mining towns at the borders of Lorraine and Luxembourg, in the anthracite region of northeastern Pennsylvania, in the coal basins of Illinois and southeastern Kansas, in the Mesabi Range of Minnesota, and in the iron ranges of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. Together with Pennsylvania’s Lackawanna County, the Mesabi Range happened to be the most popular destination in Costacciaro among migrants headed for the United States, as over 40 percent of them chose to go to Hibbing, Eveleth, or Virginia, three small towns located at a short distance from one another in Saint Louis County (Rinaldetti 2013, 69–70). It is not certain whether Bartoletti was already active in Italy or whether it was the American experience that radical- ized him, but his father Giuseppe had probably shared his socialist ideas Efrem Bartoletti in the Mesabi Range: A Wobbly’s Efforts to Mobilize Immigrant Italian Miners • 3 with him (“Efrem Bartoletti, emigrato ed esiliato politico” 2001). As early as 1911, that is to say just two years after he arrived in the United States, Bartoletti already had some articles published in L’Operaio Italiano (Letter, G. Cesare, November 20, 1911, AB), even though he had completed only the first three years of elementary education in Italy (Letter, P. de Amicis, January 12, 1911, AB). He soon became a dedicated labor activist. He was for a while the organizer of Local 490 of the IWW– affiliated Metal Mine Workers Industrial Union (MMWIU). He was a member of the strikers’ executive committee during the IWW-led strike that hit the whole Mesabi Range in 1916. And he also played an active part in the defense of the IWW activists arrested in 1917. When he returned to Italy in 1919, Bartoletti brought back more than 200 of the letters he had received during his ten years in Minnesota.4 The letters were hidden away during the Fascist period and then rediscovered by his descendants, and a local scholar I met in Umbria during my PhD research, Luigi Galassi, eventually gave me a digital version of the letters—which can now be accessed online at the Archivio Bartoletti (www.romanogu- erra.it/efrem.php).

    CHANGING PERCEPTIONS OF IL DUCE TRACING POLITICAL TRENDS IN THE ITALIAN-AMERICAN MEDIA DURING THE EARLY YEARS OF FASCISM by Ryan J.

Sanders, Associate Dean of Graduate Studies Date Ryan J. Antonucci © 2013 iii ABSTRACT Scholars of Italian-American history have traditionally asserted that the ethnic community’s media during the 1920s and 1930s was pro-Fascist leaning. This thesis challenges that narrative by proving that moderate, and often ambivalent, opinions existed at one time, and the shift to a philo-Fascist position was an active process. Using a survey of six Italian-language sources from diverse cities during the inauguration of Benito Mussolini’s regime, research shows that interpretations varied significantly. One of the newspapers, Il Cittadino Italo-Americano (Youngstown, Ohio) is then used as a case study to better understand why events in Italy were interpreted in certain ways.

Remember! Justice Crucified* A Synopsis, Chronology, and Selective Bibliography of the Sacco and Vanzetti Case Gil Fagiani ____ _ The Enduring Legacy of the Sacco and Vanzetti Case Two Italian immigrants, Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti, became celebrated martyrs in the struggle for social justice and politi­ cal freedom for millions of Italian Americans and progressive-minded people throughout the world. Having fallen into a police trap on May 5, 1920, they eventually were indicted on charges of participating in a payroll robbery in South Braintree, Massachusetts in which a paymas­ ter and his guard were killed. After an unprecedented international campaign, they were executed in Boston on August 27, 1927. Intense interest in the case stemmed from a belief that Sacco and Vanzetti had not been convicted on the evidence but because they were Italian working-class immigrants who espoused a militant anarchist creed.

  • California Teachers Association Advocate for Students and Public Education
    HONOREE CALIFORNIA TEACHERS ASSOCIATION ADVOCATE FOR STUDENTS AND PUBLIC EDUCATION The California Teachers Association is the state’s larg- est professional employee union, representing more than 325,000 public school teachers, counselors, psychologists, social workers, librarians, nurses and education support professionals, among others. It has become one of the nation’s strongest advocates for students and educators, and is also a leading proponent of civil rights and economic equality. CTA has been a strong supporter of living wage policies, including LAANE’s 2008 LAX hotel living wage law. CTA has won many landmark victories in its 150-year his- tory, from legislation providing free public schools and free textbooks for all of California’s children to laws banning child labor in the state. In the 1940s, the union was one of a handful of organizations to protest the internment of Japanese-Americans during World War II. CTA led the critical campaign in 1988 to pass Prop. 98, the law guaranteeing minimum funding for K-12 schools and community colleges. Educators joined with parents in passing legislation to reduce class sizes in our earliest grades and led campaign efforts to pass more than $30 billion to build new schools and repair rundown facilities. CTA also played a pivotal role in defeating Gov. Schwarzeneg- ger’s 2005 ballot initiatives that would have cut school funding, undermined the due-process rights of educators and silenced the voices of public employees. Last year, CTA led the fight to pass Gov. Jerry Brown’s Proposition 30, which stopped $6 billion in education cuts to schools and colleges and will generate $47 billion for public schools, colleges and other essential services over the next seven years.

  • Elite Migration, Transnational Families, and the Nation State: International Marriages Between Finns and Americans Across the Atlantic in the Twentieth Century
    Elite Migration, Transnational Families, and the Nation State: International Marriages between Finns and Americans across the Atlantic in the Twentieth Century A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Johanna Katariina Leinonen IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Advised by Donna Gabaccia and Erika Lee January 2011 © Johanna Leinonen, 2011 Acknowledgements I have been fortunate to have a wonderful support network of friends, family, and advisers during the years I have spent in Minnesota – a network that spans across the Atlantic, just like my research topic. First, I would like extend my gratitude to those Finns and Americans on both sides of the Atlantic who participated in my research. They generously donated their time and shared their stories of migration, marriage, and family life with me, and for that I am deeply grateful. I am profoundly indebted to my advisers, Donna Gabaccia and Erika Lee. I do not think it is possible to overstate the influence Donna has had not only on my research but also on my professional development more broadly. When I started my studies at the University of Minnesota in 2005, I was unsure of my professional identity: as my dissertation research is transnational, comparative, and interdisciplinary in nature, it did not comfortably fit in any traditional disciplinary silo or geographically limited area of specialization. Donna has truly been a role model for me in her passion for spearheading interdisciplinary research and teaching on international migration at the University of Minnesota. Her door has always been open to me with any questions or concerns I may have.

  • Gibbs and His Team Investigate the Death of a Marine Who Captured His Own Death on Tape
    GIBBS AND HIS TEAM INVESTIGATE THE DEATH OF A MARINE WHO CAPTURED HIS OWN DEATH ON TAPE “Caught on Tape” - #038 - The NCIS team is called to investigate when a Marine records his own murder on video as he falls off a cliff, on NCIS, Tuesday, February 22, 2005 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. Jeff Woolnough directed the episode from a script by Chris Crowe and John C. Kelley & Gil Grant. Gibbs and the team receive a call that a Marine has been found dead at the bottom of a cliff. When the team shows up to investigate the supposed hiking accident, they learn that he was on a camping trip with his wife and best friend (who they come to find out are having an affair). As Tony and McGee search through the forest for clues, McGee finds the murder weapon that proves the Marine’s death was not caused by his fall. Unfortunately, he finds this evidence in a patch of poison ivy. Gibbs pits the two lovers against each other in separate interrogation rooms to find out whose story is not adding up. Meanwhile Abby uses her superb technical skills to examine the video tape that reveals the Marine unknowingly recorded his own death post-mortem. CAST Leroy Jethro Gibbs..............................
